[gentoo-user] emerge problems

[riki]

I get a lot of downloading errors when using emerge. Usually it cannot 
find the necessary files on the mirror I'm using. I have to the google 
for the file, download it and place it in the /usr/portage/distfiles 
directory, then emerge again.

The script to set the mirror did not seem to work from behind my 
firewall, so I'm still using whatever emerge's defaults are.

Is there any way to improve emerge's reliability? Should I set a 
different mirror by hand?
